Trump Islam Tweets Are a Good Sign in Fight Against Radical Islam

President Donald Trump returned to his roots Wednesday with tweets focused on Islam. His tweets sparked outrage among the left-wing media, but garnered praise from his base.

Trump retweeted three videos from Jayda Fransen, deputy leader of Britain Frist. Britain First is a pro-Christian British organization that is skeptical of the European Union and radical Islam.

The videos in question depict acts of Muslim violence.

The first video depicts a Muslim teen brutally attacking a Dutch teen on crutches. The second video depicts a Muslim destroying a statue of Mary. The third video depicts a mob of Islamists pushing a teenage boy off a roof.

These tweets let us know that Trump is still paying attention to radical Islamic violence around the world.

The New York Daily News called the video of the Dutch boy getting beat up “fake news” because the Muslim depicted is not a migrant — he’s a native-born Dutch Muslim.

The question at hand should not be whether or not the perpetrator is a migrant. The real issue is that a Dutch teen in crutches was brutally assaulted by a radical Islamist. The footage was real; it was not fake news.

The left-wing media neglected to comment on the actual content of the videos. They won’t report on the videos because they show radical Islam in action.

The videos were real depictions of violence committed by Muslims. They did not contain any sort of anti-Muslim political messages as CNN reported; they were simply depictions of Muslim violence.

If real footage of radical Islamic violence is considered “anti-Muslim videos,” then it is no wonder why the left-wing media has refused to report on consistent Muslim violence in Europe in the past decade.

Aside from the footage Trump retweeted, there is plenty of Islam-related violence in Europe. In the U.K., acid attacks have doubled from 2014 to 2016. Acid burns leave permanent scarring and disfiguring to parts of the body that it makes contact with.

These retweets by Trump cannot help but make one think back to December of 2015 when Trump called for a complete shut down of Muslims from entering the United States until we can effectively vet Muslim immigrants.

Of course, the left-wing press went after Trump then too. They claimed that Trump and his supporters are “Islamophobic” for wanting to prevent Islamic terror in the United States.

The truth is that Trump and supporters of Trump are accepting of American Muslims who reject radical Islam and join the fight against it.

We must face the reality that Islamic terror happens in the United States, and we must all come together to ensure it ends. After these recent retweets, you can expect that Trump will continue that fight.
